Trump’s UFO Files: First Batch Reveals Apollo 12 Sighting Photos

The first batch of government files on unidentified flying objects has been released, outlining reports of unidentified phenomena spotted during NASA missions and FBI tips about flying saucers and extraterrestrial life. The trove includes dozens of images and videos from recent sightings, including several from the Middle East region, as officials promise a rolling release of additional documents in coming weeks. Supporters say the move embraces transparency, while critics warn about sensationalism.

Among the materials are photos from the Apollo 12 mission in 1969, showing unidentified phenomena on the moon’s surface. The Pentagon noted that some images were lightly modified to help viewers identify areas of interest, while stressing the contextual purpose of these highlights. Apollo 12 was the second crewed mission to land on the moon, following Apollo 11 earlier that year.

Reaction quickly split along political lines: officials tout the release as a historic transparency effort. Some lawmakers praise the access to government records, while others, including Marjorie Taylor Greene, disparaged it as distraction propaganda. "I really don’t care about the UFO files. I just don’t. I’m so sick of the ‘look at the shiny object’ propaganda while they wage foreign wars, let rapist and pedophiles run free, and ruin the value of our dollar," Greene wrote on X. White House spokesperson Davis Ingle fired back, calling Greene's remarks a sign of conspiracy thinking and urging focus on policy rather than shiny objects.

Officials say more files will be declassified and released on a rolling basis, aiming to give the public a clearer view of what the government has studied about unidentified phenomena. The move is likely to fuel ongoing debates about the reality of extraterrestrial life, government secrecy, and how transparency meets national security.
